The dismissal of 57 judges, under Presidential Decree No. 516 dated June 1, 2022, has sparked a wave of indignation from the various bodies of the judiciary who have been observing a strike since the current June 6.
In response, the President of the Republic made a point of stressing that dismissed judges have the possibility of taking legal action, insisting on the need to hold accountable all those who have failed in their duty.
Following the announcement made on Saturday by the coordination of judicial structures to maintain the strike of the Magistrates, the Ministry of Justice affirmed that it will maintain the deduction from the wages of the strikers for the month of July 2022.
The coordination has, in fact, called for the magistrates’ strike to be extended for a week and for all activities to be suspended in the courts and judicial institutions, starting Monday, June 27, as a sign of protest against the lack of reaction from the part of the President of the Republic and the Ministry of Justice towards the actions carried out by the magistrates.
For the most part, the magistrates are demanding the withdrawal of presidential decree 516 and demanding the abolition of decree-law 35 amending certain articles of the text establishing the provisional council of the judiciary.
